Ecoremedy receives an EPA ruling on its gasification technology, and now moves forward with installing the system at a Washington wastewater plant. Ecoremedy LLC, which designs complete biosolid drying and gasification facilities for wastewater treatment, has received a ruling from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) that its Fluid Lift™ gasification technology is not an incineration. “After two years of intense scientific scrutiny, EPA’s determination empowers communities to deploy Ecoremedy to treat their waste locally in an environmentally friendly manner,” said Ecoremedy President and CTO David Mooney.

But the hard truth is that there is no “away”– it all has to go somewhere, and traditionally that somewhere is in the air as greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide (CO2) and either landfilling or surface spreading the solid portion.

In fact, Fluid Lift Gasification was on the cover the international Journal of Water Environment Research, which features the “The Most Groundbreaking Research on the World’s Most Important Resource.”

Each new team member brings an extensive background in their respective disciplines and a passion for environmental stewardship. Aaron Lewer serves as project engineer for Ecoremedy and brings more than 15 years of experience designing, analyzing, testing and commissioning complex industrial systems in the food processing and laboratory automation industries.
Continue ReadingEcoremedy LLC today announced the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has ruled the company’s groundbreaking Fluid Lift™ gasification technology is not an incinerator because it prevents the combustion of sewage sludge. Fluid Lift gasification avoids the production of highly toxic and carcinogenic dioxins and furans commonly produced by incineration. These pollutants cause reproductive and developmental problems, damage the immune system, and interfere with hormones. With its ability to make FlexChar™, a unique product that ranges from 1% carbon to over 60% carbon, the Ecoremedy system can be adjusted to increase the recovery of carbon for use as biochar or can be tuned to increase energy recovery for use as a renewable energy source.

This paradigm-shifting technology will help improve the quality of life for countless communities and families. Ecoremedy successfully gasified biosolids cake generated at the MMA WWTP into renewable thermal energy and sterilized products free of PFAS chemicals and other harmful contaminants.
Continue ReadingEcoremedy is pleased to announce that US EPA has ruled that our Fluid Lift Gasification process is not incineration. Following precedent from other gasification and pyrolysis technologies, and after extensive technical review, EPA ruled that the Edmonds Biosolids Gasification Project is not an incinerator and is therefore exempt from SSI regulations. The process train in Edmonds will be standard for future projects, so those Ecoremedy projects will also be exempt. Installation of this state-of-the-art system will begin at this award-winning wastewater treatment facility near Seattle in 2022.
